Baykeeper hosts our annual beach cleanup to target the serious marine debris problem that disproportionately affects San Francisco's eastern shoreline. California Coastal Cleanup Day is the state's largest single effort to remove the debris that has accumulated on beaches and inland shorelines over the past year, bringing tens of thousands of volunteers out annually to protect the marine wildlife and habitat that can be badly damaged by marine debris. All ages welcome at this family-friendly event.

Sports Basement: Get 10% off and support Baykeeper at the same time

Sign up for Sports Basement’s Basementeers program and you’ll receive a 10% discount on each item plus a donation to Baykeeper. Sports Basement is a Bay Area-based outdoor store with seven locations. Their warehouse-style stores have gear and clothing for running, biking, hiking, camping, winter sports, and more. Sports Basement also has an extensive rental department that includes bikes, tents, and wetsuits. Plus, the stores accept used batteries and some used sports gear for recycling.

Sign up as a Basementeer in person at any Sports Basement store. Tell the cashier that you were sent by San Francisco Baykeeper, and they’ll waive the $25 sign-up fee. Or sign up for free online. Look for us in Sports Basement’s alphabetical list of charities as “San Francisco Baykeeper.”
